Russia. Moscow. Russian State Library.

            The Russian State Library is the national library of Russia, located in Moscow. It is the largest in the country and the fourth largest in the world for its collection of books (17.5 million). It was named the Lenin State Library of the USSR from 1925 until it was renamed in 1992 as the Russian State Library. Construction of the first stage, designed by Vladimir Shchuko and Vladimir Gelfreikh in 1927–1929. The first stage was largely complete in 1941. The last component of Shchuko's plan, a 250-seat reading hall, was opened in 1945; further additions continued until 1960.

Российская государственная библиотека (ФГБУ РГБ) в Москве (с 1925-1992 Библиотека имени Ленина) — федеральное государственное бюджетное учреждение, национальная библиотека Российской Федерации[4], крупнейшая публичная библиотека в России и континентальной Европе и одна из крупнейших библиотек мира. В 1927—1929 годах в три этапа прошел конкурс на лучший проект для нового здания библиотеки. Предпочтение было отдано проекту архитекторов В. Г. Гельфрейха и В. А. Щуко.  Война помешала выполнить все работы в намеченные сроки. Строительство и освоение библиотечного комплекса, включающего в себя несколько корпусов, продлилось до 1960 года.
